FOR EMPLOYERS WHO WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT:
CLEANING AIR CONDITIONING AND VENTILATION SYSTEMS
Spaces where a large number of people gather can become points of infectious disease transmission. This poses a significant risk to individuals working in these spaces. In the food industry or healthcare facilities, air conditioning and ventilation systems can become a source of contamination. Therefore, they need to be regularly maintained, professionally disinfected, and cleaned thoroughly.
Regular cleaning and disinfection of air conditioning and ventilation systems:
• Reduces the risk of infectious disease transmission
• Extends the system's lifespan
• Eliminates the spread of unpleasant odors
• Reduces energy consumption during regular operation (accumulation of dirt reduces the efficiency of electric motors)
• Reduces the risk of fire (accumulation of fine dust in ventilation ducts under the influence of dry air flow due to friction can cause smoldering and fire)
• Reduces noise and vibrations
Cleaning and disinfection of ventilation and air conditioning systems are legal obligations based on the following regulations:
- Fire Protection Act,
- Regulation on fire protection in catering facilities,
- Regulation on technical standards for ventilation or air conditioning systems,
- Public Health Protection Act,
- Regulation on occupational health and safety at workplaces.
